Decontaminating Process

Hey all,
I've done a few tubs so far, learned petri, all that good stuff. However, I pushed the limits of one of my tubs, and I was away from my grow room for a couple of days and the mean green shot its load all over my apartment, and a few of my spawn jars contaminated as well.
I've run a hepa filter in my grow room, and I've successfully made some agar dishes, but I was wondering if there was a specific method towards decontamination?
Running the hepa filter seems to have helped, although that's probably just the SAB doing its job.
I was mainly wondering about how to decontaminate jars and tubs, though. I've read ammonia chemically deactivates spores and any potential spore toxins? Should I empty my contaminated mason jars into a bucket of water / ammonia? I'd be wearing a mask and gloves of course, I know contaminants are nothing to fuck around with. And then I guess soak the jars in a separate mixture of water / ammonia?
How about the tubs? Scrub with an ammoniated cleaner? What do you guys do?

Wash jars and tips with warm soapy water. Shut your air off( windows fans ect) and let shot settle, vacuum your floors.

Floors, that's interesting, because spores settle without air currents?

What should I do with the contents of the jars? Was thinking of dumping them into a bucket of ammonia and water, then tossing that on a patch of ivy in my backyard that I'd like to kill lmao.

Lol fair enough, I've never had this kind of wide-scale contamination before so I guess I'm just being overly-cautious.
Ty for the advice!
